King Arthur fandom has been attacked.
"Giggle in the cafeteria" fics have entered the picture. The oh-so-original fall-through-the-movie-screen gag.
And, God help me, I opened up Internet Explorer (My Opera settings don't DO popups, bitch!) and started replying. My original reply was kind, thought-out and generous.'
The computer ate it.
I restrained myself from reviewing with just "FUCK OFF!"
( I wrote this. Thought it came out rather nicely )
So...yeah. I've written Mary Sues. I've come back. I've written those kinds of fics. I made them go away. Kept some up for posterity, but they're so deep in shit of LotR fics at the Pit of Voles that they're lost for all time THANK GOD.
ironychan and I have been talking about our Sues, and I've had many.
Worst: My first Harry Potter Sue. There was one plus side: it had no pairing. The minus side? EVERYTHING ELSE. She would have been a TOXIC on
pottersues. If not for the grammar and spelling, for everything else surrounding her person. If I could sum up the horrible crap it was, it would be in that I was a fan of Tenchi Muyo at the time but it was not a crossover. At least I never put pen to paper.
Best: Gundam Wing, once I got over the whole "Whee, I'm a stupid fourteen year-old!" thing. I got a plot, several series going on, plotlines, government, all that stuff. Apathy kicked in and I haven't thought much about it in years.
HOLY SHIT: Becky, you know what I'm talking about. "Alive? Dead?"
So what were your Sues? What fandoms? How far did they go? Did you write them, post them, daydream? How did your trainwreck end and when was the epiphany? HAS it ended? What was your moment of ultimate shame?
Here's mine: My Harry Potter Sue that was never, ever written down or posted anywhere was called Sasami and she had one of those power crystal things that almost all Sues are outfitted with. Oh, yes, TOXIC.
(OT: I need new icons. I think I'll take care of that now.)
